You need the story behind the pictures. It's funny. From (http://www.cybersalt.org/cleanlaugh/images/03/catlinecut.htm)

"My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived there she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled).

When she moved to Chicago with my brother, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut. She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what a LION cut is." It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her. (see PHOTOS) She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had.

Gas in car to go to groomers $4.50
Cat car carrier $32.99
Grooming fee $80.00
Getting the look from one seriously upset cat--Priceless!"

Read this.

If you have seen it disregard. I thought it might be a worthy Kitty ping.

I had to give my cat, Magic Bear, a lion cut when I first adopted him. He was a longhaired tuxedo cat who'd been on the streets for who knows how long, and his fur was just a mess. We had no choice.

When we got home from the groomer, Magic bolted into the garage and hid in my husband's Austin Healy for three days. For weeks he refused to go outside and face the ridicule of the neighbor cats. Poor baby.
